Stamp & Stick Gluepad Tips & Techniques 1. Heat Activated Stamp & Stick becomes tacky when you heat it! It’s impossible to overheat, but you can underheat... be sure it’s all of the way done before applying media. 2. For use with Glitter, apply to a coated or glossy cardstock, or any non-porous surface. When using on metal, be sure surface is all of the way cool before applying media. 3. Apply Glue ink with a sponge or stencil brush through a brass or plastic stencil for metal leafing home decor items and designs.

It will turn from a yellow to ivory when dry. Cut the plastic grapes in half and adhere to the pot with caulking to form a grape cluster. Add the plastic leaf with caulking to the top of the cluster and dry over night. Apply GourdMaster Varnish all over the porous pot, making sure you cover all the textured areas well. Mix 1 tbsp. of GourdMaster Varnish and 10 drops of chestnut ink together and sponge this mixture to the textured pot, avoiding the leaf and grape clusters.

Stewart Superior has been manufacturing clear photopolymer stamps since the late 1970’s. That’s over 25 years of experience and innovation, that we put into every order.

How can I tell the good from the bad? Since there are clear stamps on the market that are substandard quality- it’s just good business to understand the difference. Here are a few tips on what to watch out for: 1. They don’t adhere well to the clear blocks. Put the stamp on the block and tap the block on the table, if the stamp falls off they are low quality. 2. Examine the depth of the etching (depth of the stamp image). On low quality clear stamps it’s much too shallow. Good quality clear stamps will be deeply etched similar to regular rubber stamps. 3. Stamps are too soft & gooey or too hard. Making premium quality clear stamps is not easy. It takes a lot of expertise. Due to the success of Superior Clear - many imitators have appeared. Many also use photopolymer. However, Superior ClearTM stamps are made with a proprietary photopolymer that is exclusive to Superior ClearTM. It is engineered to simulate the qualities of rubber. It has a hardness (durometer) equal to rubber and therefore handles ink - just like rubber for stamping crisp, clean images. 4. Pricing is suspiciously low. Typically, premium quality photopolymer clear stamps are in the $13 – $14 retail price range for a set that measures about 4” x 6” and they will have deeply etched images. If you see really low prices for clear stamps… avoid them – they’re probably molded vinyl and usually poor quality. Another way to recognize quality photopolymer stamps is that they are formed to the size and shape of the image. This means they don’t need to be cut apart and will have very little excess edging around the image. The images are generally presented on a clear plastic carrier sheet from which they can be easily removed for project use, and then returned to the carrier sheet for hassle free storage.
